Reviews
This is a perfect book if you’re studying for Step 1. The authors do an amazing job of breaking down the material into manageable, understandable concepts and, on top of that, provide the reader with fantastic mnemonics on how to memorize the material. I did very well on Step 1 and I think this book has helped me a great deal with achieving the high score. Highly recommend.
